The biggest flaw with your 2008 Patriots is their pass defense. (Surprising, I know)
Blame it on the scheme, the pass rush, the injuries, the coverage, or whatever. I'm just relaying the facts from the ColdHardFootballFacts.
Opposing QBs of the 2008 New England Patriots (through week 13) have compiled this stat sheet:
225 cmp / 356 att (63.2%) 2,708 yds 7.61 YPA*, 21 TD 12 INT for a 92.1 Passer rating
(Whole list here: Cold, Hard Football Facts.com: Defensive Passer Rating through Week 13)
As a reference, that passer rating would be #7 on the career passer rating list (below Montana and above Philip Rivers)
(Reference: Career Passer Rating Leaders - Pro-Football-Reference.com)
Our own Matt Cassel is having a worse year than opposing QBs are having against our pass defense:
305 cmp / 442 att (64.0%) 3,052 yds 6.9 YPA* 14 TD 10 INT 85.3 Passer Rating
*I copied the YPA stats and I do not believe they factor in sacks.
